“…Conversely, for cases with associated sequelae, the surgeon should report one of the following: iAE with nonpermanent postoperative clinical consequence; iAE with permanent postoperative clinical consequence; iAE requiring reoperation; iAE leading to postoperative death. For example, an obturator nerve injury during PLND might be related to nonpermanent postoperative sequelae (eg, stretching or direct thermal injury [71]) or permanent clinical sequelae (eg, complete transection [55,72,73]). The latter example, if not intraoperatively aligned and sutured, is associated with gait disturbance, anesthesia along the nerve distribution, inability to adduct the inferior limb, and, in progressive cases, atrophy of the adductor muscle.…”
